The image displays two full-body illustrations of figures standing side by side. Both individuals are depicted in a theatrical or cavalier style, with their bodies angled slightly forward and to the side. The facial features of both figures are drawn with an exaggerated, comical style, and they have wavy hair peeking out from under wide-brimmed hats adorned with plumes. Their clothing consists of voluminous trousers that taper at the knee, accompanied by cloaks draped over their shoulders. Each figure wears a hat with feathers, and they carry a sword. The background of the image is plain.
